Good Riddance To Kristy Curry

  Texas Tech poured hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars into Kristy Curry's lifestyle in vain. Texas Tech even violated the "nepotism law" by hiring her husband. The Curry family will now head to Alabama to take their act to the deep south. Texas Tech donors bought into a coach that had violated NCAA regs and Tech got just what they deserved. Coaches come to Tech for one reason,big bucks. 2013 will be the first time in many moons that Texas Tech will have three new coaches,Kingsbury,Smith and to-be-announced. Texas Tech must face the harsh reality it is not UT or Texas A&M. Paying coaches obscene salaries and charging obscene prices for tickets is not the "Lubbock way". I for one boycott all sporting events unless they are on TV. I even try to avoid advertisers of Tech sporting events. Tech has become a symbol of "capitalist greed". That's the shame of it all.

Two Incumbents Voted Out In Shallowater

  Voters in Shallowater removed Mitch Elmore from SISD school board and Zandra Luttrell from Shallowater City Council(alderwoman). Shallowater voters had only two contested races on their ballots. Shallowater government is run in a "communist fashion" and most elections have incumbents with no opponents. Shallowater governments are corrupt and conduct most business in executive session and this editor was given an "illegal lifetime ban" by both city council and school board from public meetings.
